Cities Assailed
For Nol Keeping
Up With Traffic
Corvallis William M. Tug
man, publisher of the Port
Umpqua Courier and former
editor of the Eugene Register
Guard, last week assailed city
planning for failure to keep
pace with facts of modern
traffic. He delivered the key
note address to the 11th an
nual Northwest Traffic Engi
neers conference at Oregon
State College
Tugman, chairman of both
the state parks advisory com
mittee and the state travel
committee, said off-street
parking as an absolute neces
sity in urban replanmng. "We
have all seen," he said, "the
tremendous and costly dislo
cations of businesses which
have resulted from lack of
planning and absence of mod
ern traffic management
Advocate Changes
Tugman advocated changes
in zoning laws which would
make it possible to set aside
areas for industrial develop
ment large enough to provide
parking for all workers and
changes in laws governing
central Dusiness areas to re
quire every new structure to
be provided with enoueh
aamonisnea tne as
sembled traffic engineers
from Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, to see that their reports
on traffic conditions and traf
fic problems reached every
editor's desk in effected areas
in order to better call atten
tion to existing traffic prob
lems
"We must learn to work to
gether to educate the public
that what we are trying to do
is good sense, not dreamers
fancy," Tugman said

j Bird Watcher sg
Saturday, Jan. 18
It was a cool day and especially so in the late afternoon
when I fed my birds at home. More than usual came down
after I threw the chick scratch on the lawn. I often try to
count the different kinds but I never can because they hop
and flit about so fast. The easiest to pick out are the adult
white crowned sparrows (I'll say 8). The most numerous are
the golden crowned sparrows (maybe 25).. The English spar
rows give them a close run in numbers. The prettiest are the
rufous sided towhees (about 4) with their bright red sides,
jet black heads and spots of white on the wings and tail.
Then there are a good many juncos.
Sunday, Jan. 19
It was one of the prettiest of mornings, all decked out In
white and pink and light blue. The freezing fog in the night
had left all the trees and grasses covered with a white frost.
Then it had moved away from our area, so at dawn all the
wispy clouds were pink, with the sky in between a pale blue.
Like most of the pageantry in the sky this didn't last for
long, but it was an inspiring way to start the day.
Early in the afternoon I had a phone call from a man to
ask me about two unusual birds he had seen near his home
on Court st. Since I wasn't quite sure from his description I
went down to take a look. They were evening grosbeaks.
These are birds that make you look twice, brown and yellow,
with big white patches on the wing and a big bill. There
seem to be more than usual around this winter. We have
had them at our home place.

A lady with a very pleasant
to tell me about her pet parakeet. She says it is just a single
bird, but has started laying eggs and lays one about every
other day for a total of 17 to date. I'm no expert on pet
birds but this sounds like an interesting bit of information.

Friday, Jan. 24
Yesterday and today I have seen a little ruby crowned
kinglet quite a few times. It
olive green with wing bars and a white eye ring. It comes to
the suet feeder near our window and to the bacon grease I
put on the branch of an evergreen even nearer. Then some
times it shows its ruby crown. This is just a spot of brilliant
red on the top of the head, toward the back, a real crown
jewel so here is one bird that fits its name. The female
doesn't have the red spot, but even the male doesn't show it
off always. When he does its brightness really hits you. In
another month he will probably be showing it more because
it is really there for the eyes of female kinglets. But like
other particular beauties it helps to make a beautiful world.

Lumber Market
Remains Spotty
The lumber market in Ore
gon remained spotty to poor
last week, although some seg
ments showed definite im
provement in market activity,
according to two lumber in
dustry news letters.
A mid-western snow storm
and continued sub-freezing
weather on the east coast was
blamed for some of the low j
level of activity by Random
Lengths, Eugene. j
In Portland, the Crow serv- j
ice said its industry average j
price index dropped 14 cents
in two weeks, although green
Douglas fir remained un-i

ticularly in mixed cars of
